We are a licensed local roofing contractor in Plainfield, here for the long term and not just after the next storm. Most homes here were built after 1990, so many are reaching the age when an original roof needs replacing, and we measure and quote each one line by line.
As your roofing company in Plainfield, Storm Guard handles full tear-offs on 1990s and 2000s homes, repairs on the older buildings along Lockport Street, and the gutters and siding that face the same weather as the roof.
Our residential roofing in Plainfield centers on two-story homes from the late 1990s and 2000s, including neighborhoods like Wesmere, where original shingles are now at or near the end of their rated life.
We provide commercial roofing in Plainfield for businesses along Route 59, schools, and light industrial buildings, with TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems installed by membrane crews.
We maintain, repair, and install gutter systems that keep up with heavy downpours along the DuPage River and carry water well clear of the foundation.
Hail rarely stops at the roofline, so we inspect the siding on every elevation we re-roof and fold any repairs into the same project.
Our team is dedicated to delivering warranty-backed service with meticulous attention to detail. We make sure your windows meet the highest standards for quality and performance.
If a slope tears open or a limb comes through the deck, call us and we will secure an emergency tarp before more water gets inside.
In a town built this uniformly, one hailstorm can affect an entire street. On March 10, 2026 the National Weather Service logged three hail reports in Plainfield within nine minutes, up to an inch and a half. Every roof inspection we run is photographed and dated, and any storm damage roof repair is scoped from that record. Call (630) 216-8297.
In Plainfield, each project moves through the same four stages, and you see the price in writing before anything is ordered.
We begin with a complete professional inspection of every slope and penetration, and we photograph any hail marks so you have a dated record of the roof's condition.
Our Plainfield roofing contractors break the estimate out line by line before anything is ordered, so you can see how square footage, pitch, and material each affect the price.
We install the complete system: ice and water membrane at the eaves and valleys, correct starter and ridge, and ventilation sized to the attic it serves.
Final inspection with you on site, a magnet sweep of the drive and lawn, and a job file with the warranty paperwork a future buyer will want to see.
Given how often hail lands here, impact-rated shingles are worth pricing against a standard architectural product. On low-pitch porch and bay roofs, metal roofing is often the better long-term choice.
As your go-to roofer in Plainfield, we focus on what this village needs most: subdivision-wide roof replacement in Plainfield, carefully documented hail inspections, and storm response from a local crew. Call us today for a consultation.
Because most of the village was built in one wave. About 71 percent of housing in Plainfield was built between 1990 and 2009, with a median build year of 2003. Shingles installed across a subdivision in the late 1990s reach the end of their rated life across that same subdivision, so neighbors often need roofs within a few years of each other.
Hail damage on shingles is hard to see from the ground, so check the softer metal first.
The question is whether the shingle is worn out or damaged in one place.
It has a documented record. The August 28, 1990 tornado that struck Plainfield remains the only F5 tornado ever recorded in the United States in August. Since then the area has seen an EF-1 tornado during the August 10, 2020 derecho, a July 15, 2024 tornado that damaged the roof at Plainfield South High School, and repeated large hail.
Each installation includes two separate written warranties.
You also receive photo documentation and the warranty registration at completion.
Up to an inch and a half. On March 10, 2026 the National Weather Service logged three hail reports in Plainfield within nine minutes, ranging from one inch to ping-pong-ball size on the west and northwest sides, and one-inch hail followed on March 30. Hail this size usually leaves bruising rather than holes, so a photographed inspection is the best way to know.
Within a few days. Hail bruising becomes harder to tie to a specific storm as time passes. An inspection also tells you when nothing is wrong, which is useful to know before a door-to-door contractor suggests otherwise.
Yes. Only about 3 percent of homes in Plainfield predate 1940, and many sit in and around the Downtown Plainfield Historic District on Lockport Street, listed on the National Register in 2013. Those buildings often have steeper pitches, low-slope rear sections, and masonry details, so we quote them as a separate kind of job.
One day for most homes, even larger two-story houses, with a full crew. Steep pitches, multiple layers, complex rooflines, or premium materials can extend a job to two to five days, and we tell you which applies before work starts.
Size, pitch, material, and deck condition set the price, and square footage carries extra weight on larger homes. We measure the actual roof, inspect what is underneath, and give you an itemized figure with financing options.
Once a year, plus after any significant hail or wind. Annual inspections catch small flashing problems early and build a dated history of your roof's condition over time.
